Dai Tong is slightly thinner, but more capable, with a pretty face that reveals a sophistication that belies her age. She is wearing a crimson velvet skirt and a fur-necked cape. She laughs before anyone arrives.

"I apologize for keeping you waiting for so long! Thank you, Boss Lu, for entertaining me. Sister Xiangli, please introduce me to my good friends!"

Although Nishino Hanami has not been in Linzhenfang for a long time, she has a kind personality and is very polite, so Daitong is regarded as her own sister.

Wu'an Tingxue is prospering under the management of Daitong. Hesaka is not as good as Zhongxuan. The officials and business people usually have no special leisure and entertainment, except listening to music and watching plays. As soon as Wu'an Tingxue opened, all the officials and business people in Hecheng

I was so dumbfounded that I didn’t know there was such a free place in life. Suddenly, the house was crowded with people, and gold and silver came in like water.

Daitong took the opportunity to acquire two other houses by the lake and turned them into outer courtyards, which were specially used to receive ordinary guests. Wu'an Tingxue still followed the rules of Lin Zhenfang and only received distinguished guests.

In just half a year, Wu'an Tingxue's name has spread to Zhongxuan. In the past, the guests went up the river with their feelings, firstly to complain about Lin Zhenfang, and secondly, it had been a long time since they had enjoyed top-notch singing and dancing.

Nishino Yumei introduced both parties, Daitong paid homage to everyone, and Chen Lu and others responded according to the etiquette of Purple Star.

Although Nishino Yumei was sitting in the host and guest seats, Daitong could tell at a glance that Chen Lu was the leader of the group, so he warmly greeted Chen Lu for a few words, and everyone started talking again, moving their chopsticks.

.

"Brother Chen's accent doesn't sound like he's from Nanyang, and his Mandarin is better than Boss Lu's." Dai Tong couldn't help but be surprised.

In addition to the demon doctor in the earthling camp, Daning, who belongs to Chen Lu, speaks well of the official language, but how could he tell Dai Tong the truth about his language learning.

"It's really because of the strict restraint of the enlightenment teacher that the pronunciation can be close to the official pronunciation."

Lu Mouxi, who had a taste of Hesaka, joked: "It's more than similar. Brother Chen's Mandarin is more than a hundred times better than Lu Mou. Previously, Boss Dai couldn't understand me without asking me two or three times. Brother Chen opened his mouth."

It’s the flavor of Beijing, which is really rare.”

Chen Lu smiled but didn't answer.

Dai Tong said: "Sister Xiangli came home in the afternoon, and my sister was really happy, but she didn't have time to ask where Sister Hao and Sister Huaibi were, and why weren't they with you?"

Nishino Yumei briefly recounted the journey with Qin Hairpin Huaibi, the danger, and the recognition of relatives.

"Miss Qin and Miss Huaibi went to a place called Lujing to escape the war. Then there was a coup in Bizhou. It was said that Miss Qin's father had rebelled, and the whole city was looking for the rebels. I was really worried for her, and I don't know what is happening now.

how's it going!"

Dai Tong was filled with emotion. First she was happy that Qin Hao had found her biological father, but then she was worried about the current situation of her father and daughter. She was silent for a moment and made up her mind, then said to the door: "Nan'er, come in."

A smart little girl walked in outside the door: "What are your orders, sister?"

"Go back to the workshop immediately, find Master Wang, and ask him to send a few smart people to Bizhou and Lujing, specifically to find out the whereabouts of Sister Qin Hao."

Nan'er took the order and left. Daitong then asked: "I wonder what the plans of these good friends are?"

Chen Lu Zhengse: "I'm sorry, there are two things I hope Boss Dai can help me with. One is to borrow precious land for use," he pointed at the demon doctor, "My brother needs some materials to build something, and I would like to ask Boss Dai to buy them for me first.

, we will find ways to compensate later."

Daitong waved her hand: "Sister Xiangli and I are like sisters. We are all friends. There is no compensation. Not to mention that Wugan Tingxue is not short of money now. Even if we can't open the pot, we must try our best to raise money for our friends first and compensate them.

Don’t mention it again.”

Chen Lu clasped his fists in thanks. "There is one more thing, but it is related to the safety of Hesaka City!"

"The city is in danger, how can you say this?"

"Have Boss Dai heard about the battle in which Shun's army flooded Ning's army in Yizhou?"

"This is the news that has spread throughout the world. The remnants of the old Shun party in Yizhou used magic to defeat our five hundred thousand celestial masters (so-called)."

"Now that Yizhou and Baiyue have formed an alliance, it is imminent for the two powers to attack Ning. The old Shun army went out of the Suxia Gorge along the Jiaojiang River, and the Baiyue army went north along the ancient road. All the troops pointed at Heban."

Lu Mouxi said worriedly: "The imperial court has deployed a large army to go up the gorge. It is said that they are forging iron chains and preparing iron ropes to cross the river!"

Chen Lu said to him: "Boss Lu, have you ever seen a cannon?"

Lu Mouxi shook his head: "I have only heard about it but never seen it with my own eyes. It is said that it came in handy when resisting the rebel Gao Liwen in northern Xinjiang. One shot can destroy an enemy team of a thousand men!"

"How many cannons does Daning have?"

Lu Mouxi shook his head.

Leng Shan replied: "I heard that this artillery is called the 'Huowu Tianzun Red General'. There are nine 'red generals', so there should be nine cannons. It is said that they were bought with huge sums of money from overseas."

"To tell you the truth, there are at least 150 gates in Bizhou!"

Lu Mouxi spit out a sip of tea: "Brother Chen, are you kidding? Where can he get so much money? Even if there is gold buried all under the ground in Bizhou, it may not be enough!"

Chen Lu replied solemnly: "I'm talking about the quantity when we left Bizhou. They can build one door in seven days. As long as there are enough raw materials, they can build more!"

Lu Mouxi covered her mouth: "The old Shun didn't even need to send out troops. He only needed to point the muzzles of these 150 cannons at the west gate, and the bombardment alone would be enough to destroy the city!"

Chen Lu nodded and asked again: "How about Daning's fire gun?"

Leng Shan's best friend is an officer, so she knows more about military affairs. She replied: "Heban has a firepower team, about forty or fifty people, all with single-barreled guns. It is said that Zhongxuan's firepower camp is still the Lihuo camp.

They are equipped with three muskets and have more than a thousand men."

"There are ten thousand elite troops in Qianzhou, each holding a nine-cang revolving gun," Chen Lu added, looking at the astonished faces at half the table: "The magazines can be replaced as soon as they are used up. One person can assemble four revolving magazines, a total of three

Sixteen rounds of ammunition.”

Si Xu said weakly: "But we have bows and arrows!"

Leng Shan stroked her heart: "My good sister, the worst fire gun can shoot one hundred and fifty steps, and the best bow and arrow can only shoot one hundred steps. How do you compare?"

"Then... isn't there a Pili Chariot in Hesaka?" Si Xu was most afraid of fighting.

Leng Shan said: "Thunderbolt chariots take five hundred steps, artillery takes one thousand steps!"

Dai Tong kept frowning as she listened. She raised her hand to stop Leng Shan and Si Xu, and asked Chen Lu, "What about Baiyue?"

"We don't have much information about Baiyue, but it is said that Baiyue has a strong military strength, more than 200,000, and more..."

Chen Lu thought about whether to tell them the news about the man-animal monster, but after moving his mouth three times, he still held it back.

"...Moreover, the Yi people are good at taming wild animals. Tigers, leopards, wolves and insects can be used as weapons. Not to mention humans, war horses will definitely be frightened when they see them."

Dai Tong pondered for a long time, then suddenly raised her head and stared at Chen Lu. "Is what Brother Chen said true?"

Chen Lu nodded solemnly.

Nishino Yumei said: "Please believe us!"

Daitong asked: "Then what can I do?"

"Does Boss Dai have any way to notify the government of this early warning?"

Daitong's eyes lit up: "It's no coincidence that the person I'm dealing with in the front yard tonight is the real master!"

She stood up Yingying and blessed everyone again, "It's a very important matter. I'm sorry Daitong can't accompany me. I'll go back to the shop right away. I'll let everyone know as soon as I have the news. Boss Lu, Sister Shan, thank you for your hard work and take good care of the guests. What's the matter?"

If you need anything, just ask Silu to buy it."

Everyone got up to see each other off, and dinner was almost done. The people on earth were already tired from the long days of hard work. Leng Shansi Xu led Nishino Yumei and Wu Shuangxue to Xuanzhou. Lu Mouxi and six nursing home leaders Chen Lu ordered to go to work.

The demon doctor rushes to Qingzhou.

The three of them were accommodated in a courtyard, each with a suite. The room was elegantly and luxuriously decorated, with light hanging silk incense burning.

Chen Lu had finished washing up. Thinking of having troublesome dreams tonight, he didn't want to fall asleep. He sat alone on the bed in a daze. However, he felt that the fragrance was faint and very peaceful, like the warmth of the winter sun and the refreshingness of the summer breeze. Unknowingly, he was lying on the bed.

He fell into a deep sleep on the big pillow.

The next day, the demon doctor was accompanied by Lu Mouxi and Leng Shan to the market early in the morning to purchase materials, and Si Xu also temporarily returned to the inner courtyard to take care of business. When the sun stood at forty-five degrees, the order

Seeing that Chen Lu hadn't gotten up yet, he opened the door and walked into the house.

Chen Lu was lying on the bed. He called twice, but there was no answer. He came closer and patted his shoulder, but he still didn't wake up. Shanggong felt something was wrong, so he quickly put his finger under Chen Lu's nostrils.

His breathing was very even. He opened his upper eyelids slightly, his pupils were dull and turned slowly. Ling Shanggong simply pinched Chen Lu, but there was still no reaction.

As a doctor, he knew something must be wrong with Chen Lu. The key point was that the demon doctor was not on the continent now, and he had no tools to examine him. After thinking for a moment, he first made Chen Lu comfortable, and then ran out of Qingzhou to Xuanzhou.

Find help from your peers.

There were only a few people in the house on Xuanzhou, so it was not easy to find a nun, so he ordered Shang Gong to sign and ask where his companions were.

It took Xiao Ni a long time to understand, and it took another long time for Ling Shanggong to understand that the two girls went to the city with the demon doctor.

Ling Shanggong was in a hurry when Master Jinnian, the abbot, came over and asked what happened. Ling Shanggong couldn't explain it, so he simply took Jinnian to Qingzhou and asked her to see for herself.

Jin Nian was well versed in medical skills. After checking Chen Lu's pulse, he said something and Ling Shanggong understood the word "sleep."

Row a boat to the inner courtyard to find someone.

After going back and forth for nearly half an hour, the little nun returned to Qingzhou with silk wadding and another girl in purple.

Si Xu got off the boat and asked, "What happened to our guest?"

Jin thought: "Looking at the pulse is due to overwork, physical and mental fatigue. After smelling benzoin all night, I fell asleep and achieved Bodhi concentration."

Si Xu felt relieved and said to the woman behind her: "Sister Ziyuan, can you take Xing Shen Xiang with you?"

Ziyuan nodded slightly: "All the spices are available."

Jin Nian led the way, Si Xu and Zi Yuanxiang followed to Chen Lu's bedroom.

The little nun had already taken the silver needle for Jinnian, and Jinnian said to Ziyuan: "Please let the girl spread the incense first. After it is done, I will come and apply the acupuncture."
